How men over 50 can look younger tips

Look younger tips for men over 50

Over 50, but not ready for a facelift? There are plenty of ways to either shave off a few years, or embrace your age in a more vibrant, stylish way. If you’re not looking as young as you feel, here are some tips to update, refresh and rejuvenate the older man, from top to toe.

Update your wardrobe

Are you dressing like an old man? Maybe you’re hanging on to your youth a bit too much? Whichever way you’re leaning, many men in their 50’s haven’t quite nailed a style that suits them.

Chuck out anything tatty, torn or loud and bright. Equally, get rid of anything that men your Dad’s age would wear, like baggy cardigans or faded polo shirts in unflattering shades. Classic, flattering colours such as navy blue (for suits and jeans, suave men and stonewashed baggy jeans don’t mix!), cream, crisp white and charcoal grey are the key to updating your look. Keep the loud shorts and Hawaiian shirts for holidays, and ensure that everything you wear is crisp, clean, modern, classic and pressed.

Just by eliminating dated, juvenile or aging clothes from your wardrobe & adding some luxurious fabrics such as crisp cotton & linen, you instantly take away the negative connotations of being too old for certain outfits, or dressing like an old man.

See your barber for a restyle

If you’ve had the same hairstyle for more than ten years, it’s probably time for a restyle. As men age, their hair gets thinner and starts to disappear. A haircut that was flattering years ago might be accentuating the issue today.

If you’re just starting to thin, there are some excellent sprays and powders that invisibly bond with your existing hair, giving the impression of more up top. If you’re already balding or starting to recede dramatically, only a hair transplant will nip that in the bud. A tip from celebs and CEO’s that want to hang on to their hairlines, is the hair transplant Turkey market, where a procedure will set you back around a quarter of what you’d pay in the UK. A company like Med Away will be able to advise you on clinics, costs and details.

Future-proof your face

We mentioned not wanting a facelift just yet, but did you know that you can knock around ten years off your age with a peel? If you’re a smoker, spent a lot of time in the sun, or you just haven’t been very diligent with your skincare, a peel could work wonders for you.

Peels range from very light “lunch break” procedures, where you can return to work in the afternoon, to very deep procedures, which require weeks of recovery. The most extreme peels yield the most extreme results, and post-peel photographs can be very dramatic.
